Sending my sincerest condolences to the Everett family. I always enjoyed Mr. Everett's classes (I didn't know he enjoyed painting the Ukrainian eggs or I would have asked him to teach me). He will be missed by all who knew him and loved him. Mr. Everett left a legacy for us all.
With kind remembrances,

Pat and Chris, sorry to hear about your loss. We have great memories of the time we shared with Ralph. We had the pleasure of meeting your family when the boys played T-ball and then through scouting. His willingness to help teach the boys and his love for sitting around the campfire eating toasted bologna covered in honey mustard, will never be forgotten. He was a good man and a good friend.

My sympathy to the family. I knew Ralph from LVH. Enjoyed his stories, sense of humor, egg collection, home made mustard, trips to Phillies games but especially his friendship, willingness to help and the respect he displayed to the nurses and rest of the staff at the hospital. Will miss him.

I recently had a conversation about teachers who had an impact on us and teachers who truly were in the profession because they cared about the students. Mr. Everett was #1 on my list. We wished there was a way to contact him to tell him how much his teaching meant to us. I can still remember some of his lessons because he made them so interesting. I even have the Pysanky eggs he taught us to make. Heaven has truly gained another angel. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Peace of Christ be with you Patti Everett and with your son Chris at your time of need and in the future.

Ralph was my sixth-grade social studies teacher back in 1970 in Coplay for half a year, and then the new Middle School. He taught me the art of the Pysanki Easter egg. I grew up to work side-by-side with him at LV Hospital. RIP Ralph. You made an impression on many young students.
